A very busy Thursday and Friday, guys. Let me update you.

In my other blog, I made a ‘must have list for 2008’. Here’s the update of the said list:

1. my own website (done on Feb02)

2. digital camera

3. new pair of pants (at least 2)

4. a pair of sandals/flat shoes

5. shorts

6. skirt (done on Feb01)

7. TV rack (done yesterday, Apr30)

8. office table (to replace our PC table) (I don’t think I’ll be needing this for now; we already had an alternative)

9. computer monitor (to replace the one I am using now which is having near death experience)

10. (I’m still thinking)

Then today, My husband and I bought a new TV set and it’s oh so beautiful! A black Sony Wega. And everything matches - the home theater system he bought me, the entertainment rack and the TV set - a perfect match! It’s as if they were bought together. They compliment each other well, especially the color. I really love them! I also love this executive chair I’m sitting on right now!

And by the way, another blog to check out is a blog of a yummy mummy who, like me, just got a little surprise too from her husband. (Nice watch Chris! Post the new one soon, please.) Why ‘yummy’ and why ‘mummy’? It’s for you to find out!

Bye for now, people! We’re going to watch some movies together. I’m so excited!

You may be wondering why sometimes I speak of some blogs here. This is because I have been bloghopping here and there lately to check out what other blogs have to offer. This is what I do when I have nothing to do (haha!). There are as many niche blogs out there as those who talk just everything about their personal lives. For me, it doesn’t matter what one wants to talk about, as long as I find it interesting, I read it. Besides, it’s their blog. They can write whatever they want to. Some talk about their work, some talk about their travel experiences, while some talk about their heartaches and triumphs and still, others talk about things that really interest them like computer or the internet – just like Internet For All, a blog about business, computer, internet and news.

My bloghopping gives smaller blogs like me have the opportunity to get known, or at least be visited, by my readers. This also gives me the same opportunity to have other bloggers and readers come over. I find it fun helping out each other in this way.

Yes, this blog just upgraded yesterday from WordPress2.5 to WordPress2.5.1 using the WordPress Automatc Upgrade Plugin.

Hello there, people. Sorry if I’ve been too tired lazy to write these past couple of days. It’s because Dario, Jeff and I are too busy cuddling each other to do anything. Even getting up from bed seems like a very difficult task when I am being held by the two most loving guys in my world – my husband and our son.

Anyway, here I am, with a heavy head due to cold. I did a few minutes of bloghopping and just came across this site that is authored by a fellow Filipina who calls herself Pansay. Her blog is of course about the things that interest her – her daily routine, her job and other issues she has with some people and things around her. You can check out her blog and learn her views in life and how it keeps ‘amusing myself’, as she puts it.

Talk to you again soon, people!

And back to the bed . . . . .

Yes, I am so happy today! My husband is now on board a flight to Manila and we are picking him up this afternoon at the airport. Our son is preparing a little welcome banner for him. He said he wants to surprise his father with it.

I am already done preparing his things here. Everything is in order now. Last night, as we were chatting, he asked for sinigang na baboy (a famous Filipino dish) for dinner. Right now, I am just taking a coffee break. I’m making some final touches here in our room.

Oh, man! Our son and I are really so excited to embrace him again! I am ecstatic, happy, excited! And so is our son, Jeff. The three of us will be watching a movie together next week, and some more other things. We are not wasting any time of the entire 51 days Dario is here.

Talk to you again later, people!

A blog that talks about anything under the sun, the moon, the stars – everything! That’s what my blog is about. This is because I talk just about anything here on earth as well as what’s outside it. And I know I am not the only blogger in this world who does.

Everything Under the Sun is a blog of a person whom I share many things in common. Like me, Beth is also a Filipina (but lives in the US), married to a husband who works out of the country (her husband is with the navy), likes looking at the sea or river and in her thirties. Well, there may be more than that! One thing I noticed though is that she goes to the gym and I’m not and that what makes us different. I hate exercise and the gym is the last place on earth I’d be seen.

I don’t know much about the codes, the CSS and everything for I am still learning, but here’s something I can share with those who are non-geeks like me.

I recently upgraded my WP2.3.3 to WP2.5 using the WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin (WPAU). It’s easy.

What WPAU does?
1. Backs up the files and makes available a link to download it.
2. Backs up the database and makes available a link to download it.
3. Downloads the latest files from WordPress.org and unzips it.
4. Puts the site in maintenance mode.
5. De-activates all active plugins and remembers it.
6. Upgrades wordpress files.
7. Gives you a link that will open in a new window to upgrade installation.
8. Re-activates the plugins.

You too can do it by just following these simple steps:
1. Download the wordpress-automatic-upgrade.zip file to your local machine.
2. Unzip the file
3. Upload `wordpress-automatic-upgrade` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
4. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
5. Go to Manage -> Automatic Upgrade and either click on the link provided to run or use the automated version link to let the plugin run in an automated way.

This plugin works with WordPress versions 1.5 and later. To know more about WPAU plugin, read the FAQ.
